I stand technically corrected ...but does anyone actually consider CC0 a "creative commons license"? Does anyone use it? This is no different than simply putting something in the public domain.
...but he certainly doesn't help his case any by making dramatic and polemical statements.
Are there legitimate issues? There certainly are. Is hive mind an issue in Wikipedia? Oh yes indeed, it is. Is the legitimacy of attribution a concern? No question about it. But his implication that every commons, no matter how conservatively managed, devolves into the the kind of mess one sees in the worst corners of Wikipedia, is preposterous -- and actively damaging if people take his nonsense as gospel truth, because it happens to show up in the Wall Street Journal.
